T all whom, t may concern: y

Be it known that we, DANIEL J. C. ARNOLD and CHARLES B. POST, bothresidents of New London, in the county of Huron and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in lVheels; and we dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, which will enable others skilled in theart` to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to improvements in 'f wheels; and the object ofthe invention is the prod uction of a wheel constructed entirely ofmetal, which will be light in weight and possess great strength anddurability, and which can he produced at a comparatively -low figure.

The invention consists of a wheel having a hub formed with two flanges,two disks hav- Figure l represents a perspective view of a wheelembodying our invention. Fig. 2 representsa vertical section thereof.Figs. 3 and 4 represent vertical sectional views of modified forms ofthe wheel.

Referring by letter to the drawings, the letter A designates the hub ofthe wheel having the flanges A.

B and B designate the metal disks secured to the flanges of the hub, andvthe disks are inclined toward each other and meet, at whichmeeting-point they are secured.

In Figs. l and 2 the felly is constructed of two parts C and C', whichare angularin crosssection, and between the vertical limbs or portionsof the parts are secured the meeting,

ends of the disks. In Fig. 3 the felly is formed with a flange D, andthe disks are secured to each side of said flange. In Fig. 4 the disksmeet and are formed with lateral flanges B2, which are secured by bandsE.

It will be readily seen that we provide a wheel which is very strong anddurable, at the same time light in weight, can be manufactured at a lowligure, and can be taken apart or put together with ease.

Having thus described our invention, we

claim and desire to secure by Letters PatentV of the United States- Awheel consisting of the hub, the felly formed of the two angularmembers, and the disks having their centers connected tothe hub andtheir outer edges connected to the vertical limb of the members,substantially as described.
